July was the biggest month for collections of franchise fees and taxes in the history of the corporation department, Secretary of State Charles F. Car-, pentier announces. Total collections for the month were $2,114,823.08, bringing 1953 receipts for the first seven months up to $3,941,055.62, an increase of $454,325.51 over -the 1952 figure at the same time of the year, Secretary Carpentier said. Because August brought particularly heavy collections last year, Mr., Carpentier predicted there will be some decrease by the end of this month in the 1953 advance over 1952. New incorporations have cen^ tinued to stay ahead of las* year's record, Secretary Carpentier said, the seven-month total for this year of 4,504 being 671 ahead of 1952. A total of 3.008 new Illinois business corporations have .been chartered, 507 more than in 1952, and 428 out-of-state organizations have been granted certificates of authority- to operate in Illinois, 108 more than last year. ; In not-for-profit organizations, the 1,054 Illinois groups formed this year are forty-nine more than last year, and the fourteen out-of-state groups are seven ahead of last year, Secretary Carpentier reported.

Athlete's Foot Because the symptoms associ-! ated with athlete's foot are usu-t ally so mild in the initial stage | of development, many persons ignore them until the condition is well advanced, thus making it more difficult to treat and cure, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical! society . observes in health talk. The term derives it's name from the fact that it is commonly found in the person who frequents gymnasiums, locker rooms and swmming pools and is erroneously applied to a number of other conditions of the skin. While it is a form of ringwoTm, its character is individual. In the first stage, there is usually increased scaliness or sogginess between the toes, or itching and blistering on the soles of the feet and on the sides of the toes. Again thero may be merely increased itching and burning in these areas. Frequently the skin returns to normal. When the disease progresses, however, large, raw and blistering areas may be present. There may be severe, swelling arid eventually Scaling and thickening of the skin. A low form of plant life, called fungi, is the cause of the disease. The fungi grow from seeds called spores, which may be compared to grains of wheat. Because of their protective layers, the spores have the ability to remain dormant only to become active under suitable con» ditions, such as heat and moisture.
